Re: bopar'a'?

> QapDI' may', not nab pablu'chu', 'ach not Qap may', nabbe'lu'chugh je.

-DI' implies when {not nab pablu'chu'} happens.  I don't read any cause/effect 
here.  The second sentence has the cause/effect with -chugh. 

Either:
 Put a -chugh in the first sentence
   Qap may', not nab pablu'chu'chugh...
Or:
 Perhaps use -meH in the first phrase and a -nIS in the second phrase
   QapmeH may', not nab pabnISlu'chu'...


oops, is that recasting?
